Seller: atodesco ✉️ (2,322) 100%, Location: Glastonbury, GB, Ships to: GB & many other countries, Item: 134113487580 Hand-coloured Framed Wood Engraving c. 1890 Clydesdale Stallion by Frank Babbage. Rather lovely hand-coloured wood engraving of a Clydesdale Stallion called "Macgregor" owned by Andrew Montgomery. Esq. of Netherhall, Castle Douglas, by the animal artist Frank Babbage (1858-1916) from Bridgewater in Somerset. He provided some of the engravings along with J.B. Pratt for the very rare Life of George Stubbs Book, of which there were only 150 copies. This engraving does appear to be a plate from a book (see photo, up margin 'Plate 5'), however I do not think it was from that particular book, Frank Babbage did provide engravings for several publications around that date. It is really a lovely piece. It is framed, it is not a particularly special frame and there are a few (dead) bugs caught behind the glass.  Please see photos for measurements.   Dispatched with Royal Mail, if you are overseas please contact me first to discuss postage prices and/or viability as there are some things I would prefer not to send abroad due to fragility.

 

I love vintage and unusual items and much of what I sell comes from my own collections as I love to keep things for a while and pass them on for others to enjoy.

 

PLEASE BEAR IN MIND  that whilst I have done my best to give a fair and accurate description of this item, please note I do not claim to be an expert in any of the items being offered just someone who appreciates lovely things, therefore all dates and descriptions are only my opinion and should not be taken as statements of fact. Do look carefully at the photographs as all my items are vintage and are often not perfect.

On the rare occasion something may get damaged when wrapping or I may find damage that I did not notice when I listed. If this happens I will immediately contact buyer.

 

If you have any questions about it please Email me and ask before bidding and I will do my best to answer them. Please be fair to me and all eBay sellers and at least give us a chance to fix problems before you leave negative feedback or open cases, if you contact me I  WILL  sort it out somehow.
